- in this one we see if I'm ready for 6s power (try not too laugh)
the FTX DR8 is cheap for what it is. its my first 6s so I've nothing to compare it too but its an animal.
it wont let me put in a link to Slough models where i got mine for £339 which is £30 cheaper than anywhere else. but if you search them you'll be able to find them.
The DR8 is one of the best, if not best performing value for money trucks out their.
check out the redcat kaiju ext 6s it is a beast the plastic chassis never breaks the only think i can tell you that breaks if you jump and land bad or if you hit something going quick the upper aarms sometimes break i havent broke them yet and this thing hauls ass i got mine used for 200 bucks it does backflips, frontflips, even a rolling backflip it is cool check it out
Like what you are doing Ben, I was a rc lover back in late 80s early 90s just got back into it because of watching someone else's channel, credit to you buddy 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻
Subbed mate was watching your 144010 vid the other day was gonna buy it but ended up with a corally moxoo instead 😂 that spot u run the cars at looks great 👍🏻
Great review, love the presentation style and good luck with the channel.
Thank you 🙏
Great vid mate! Love the DR8 its one of the best value 1/8 6s vehicles available if not the best. My X-Maxx barely comes out now I have mine and parts are cheap too 😮. Keep up the great work!
Thank you I watched your review the other day it was awesome, I’ve just subscribed to your channel, I’ve been watching for ages but somehow never subscribed so apologies for that.
Hi Ben been watching your channel for a bit now. I’m a noob to. Keep it going mate. I have a DR8 put 6s int it was like an hazbo on wheels. Thinking big rock next Mrs permitting lol
Just gave you a sub buddy. I’m totally new to all this at the age of 63 😂 young at heart. I own the Traxxas Bigfoot and FTX carnage at the moment but would love a x maxx 8s but just can’t afford the price. The FTX dr8 looks brilliant and a bit larger. Lee up the great work
Paul
I loved the carnage it’s a good truck for the money. I’d love an x maxx one day but they are expensive. I’m only 45 but 63 is still young. that’s the good thing with rc your never too old to play with toys.😉
Great review and share bro ! This thing has some serious performance and serious value indeed. You were meant for 6s my friend!😆👍🏻👊🏼🍻
Great video. The DR8 is awesome.
Great review mate thanks
Great review have been looking at one of these and know your reviews are honest and you say what you see gives me more confidence to buy one now
Thank you it is awesome but insanely fast
Run it on 4s & it's a nutcase , need to venture to 6s , but this is such an underestimated buggy . Keep up the solid work !!
It's a great video.
rc is full of power👍👍👍
Car you Dona video of upgrades and list where to get them? Want to see more and more of this 😊
I was in Slough Radio Control Models today and I ended up leaving with one of these to. I can’t wait to get to get out with it.
Congratulations they are awesome, you’ll love it.
Another question the gt5 controller, do you have to alter anything on the cars? Or does it just pick the signal up
Thanks
Paul
Hi Paul thanks for the questions. The gt5 will link to up to 20 different models but you will have to buy matching receivers for them, which can get a bit expensive alternatively you can use a dumbo rc transmitter and buy the matching receivers which are cheaper but you can’t select models like the gt5 it just binds to whichever one is turned on.
I use both and both work well. Hope that helps.
Cheers matey :)
Great review 👍I’ve a treat myself new car coming up (that’s what I’m going with😆) and this might be it? I’ve seen about the hinge pin problem but it’s a£16 upgrade to metal I think? The price is great it’s really fast looks good and made you smile, that’s what it’s all about 😎
Thank you 🙏 it definitely made me smile 😁 I’ve ordered some metal hinge pin brackets then it will be back out.
@@noobrccars4392 I could see you just wanted to run it for longer 😎. May I ask how much for the hinge pins? I presume a front and rear set is required?
Yes there’s two at the back £13 each and two at the front same price so £52 for all four Cheap enough but a fair chunk of cash to outlay. Still worth it for the smile.
Where is Kevin and his friends? 🤣 all the good RC youtubers are in UK.
Where was the testing location in this video as I'd like to take some of mine there !
It’s a woods in sandy Bedford. Not sure what it’s called maybe sandy woods.🤷♂️
Are you located anywhere near Slough? Where is that bashing location that you went to?
It’s in Bedford which is down the road from me.
Why no more vids
What batteries would you recommend for this please
I use two overlander 3 s batteries for it.
I’ve not done any comparisons between cheap and expensive but these work well. I’ve also just got a 6s zop power one to see how that works and will use that this weekend so we’ll see,Zop power is cheap Banggood special.
battery’s are pretty expensive but I might buy an expensive one to do a comparison at some point.
😳 friggin hell I wasn’t sub’D yet🙃
I sure am now tho
Thanks for sharing this will be exciting to follow on your channel thIs DR8 is mean to be an excellent rig for the Shilling ✅ not to mention he looks a lot like the old team associated nomad DR8 😎💥😎
Thanks for subbing👍 it is excellent I’ve put the outcast 4s wheels on it going to take it out tomorrow to see the difference.
@@noobrccars4392 ohhh shoot😳 ohhh
BeHAVE🤣🤣🤣
that show should be a 💎
😖😖😖 the wait😬
nice review! I have one as well, run mine on road, so got some SRM Road Crushers installed for tarmac bashing. I'll keep watching your uploads, take a look at mine if you have time..Cheers! 👍🍺🇬🇧
Thank you 🙏 I wondered how it runs on road. I’ll have a look.
@@noobrccars4392 the factory tyres are very drifty on road, good fun but harder work than I thought. 6S is a lot of energy.
I see what you mean that was popping some big wheelies in your video. Subscribed to your channel as well so I can watch your DR8 adventures.👍
In America 417.00 plus 85.00 for delivery
I'm sold , I want one 😆
The video doesn’t do the speed justice it’s a missile. I had an old lady come over with her dog and say “that’s epic” which made me laugh wish I’d filmed it.
Talk to Tomley, he had to adjust the shocks to make it jump better! Wish I could get one here in the USA 🇺🇸 😪 😕
I’ve found that taking off the spare wheel made it more balanced and jumps better. Also I wound the shocks off (like Tomley) did) it’s awesome now. It’s a shame they don’t make it in the USA. Thanks for watching.
Watching from Japan 🇯🇵 and English , wish they sold them in Japan , Tamiya here , good but not that fast and strong 👊🏻👍🏻
Hi thank you 🙏.
I always wanted a tamiya avante when I was a child. I’d love to see them make a fast strong car, I’d buy it.
@@noobrccars4392 I have Tamiya lunch Box great fun 👊🏻👍🏻
I run mine on 2s and 3s sometimes . It must be CRAZY on 6s !!!!
It is an animal.😁
I have the atom version it comes with batteries. Yes it is fast 60 mph
I fit 23mm wider hexhubs on mine at a cost of just over £10 from Aliexpress, makes it handle even better, it needs a 25kg servo as well m8,the stock servo is too slow 😁
Yes the steering servo is a bit weak. I’ve also put the wheels off my outcast on it looks mean but not sure what it’s going to do to the handling.
